CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0195115 filed on Dec. 31, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a cathode of an all-solid lithium battery, and a secondary battery system using the same. The cathode may include a lithium composite that is formed of a mesoporous conductor, a solid electrolyte and a lithium compound, e.g. a Li₂X particle. The lithium composite of the cathode can be manufactured by dispersing a solid electrolyte in the pores of the mesoporous conductor to provide a solid electrolyte composite, and coating the solid electrolyte composite on the surface of the lithium compound (Li₂X) including nonmetallic solids such as S, Se, and Te.

BACKGROUND

A secondary battery has been used as high-performance energy source for an electric car, a bulk power storage battery, such as, a battery energy storage system, and small portable electric devices, such as, a cellular phone, a camcorder, and a laptop computer. Thus, a research for reducing weight of a part and electric consumption and improving a secondary battery with reduced size and greater capacity component has been conducted in order to implement the miniaturization and the continuous use of a portable electric device.

For example, a lithium ion battery as a secondary battery can provide greater energy density and greater capacitance per unit area than a nickel-manganese battery or a nickel-cadmium battery. In addition, the lithium ion battery can have reduced self-discharge rate and an extended life. Furthermore, the lithium ion battery does not have a memory effect, and thus, may provide convenience of use and extended life span.

However, as being used as a battery for a new generation electric car, the lithium ion battery may have various problems, such as, a stability problem due to overheating, low energy density, and low power. In order to overcome these problems of the lithium ion battery, the research and development on a post lithium ion battery like a lithium air secondary battery have been actively progressed.

For instance, a lithium sulfur secondary battery can be provided with high energy density, e.g. of about 2500 Wh-kg, which is about 5 times greater than the theoretical energy density of a conventional lithium ion battery. Therefore, the lithium sulfur secondary battery is considered to be a suitable battery for an electric car that requires high capacity and high energy density. However, a polysulfide shuttle phenomenon may occur when a liquid electrolyte is used, thereby causing a self-discharge effect and deteriorating the life span of a lithium sulfur secondary battery. Moreover, safety issue may arise sine the liquid electrolyte is substantially instable at high-temperature during charging and discharging.

In the related arts, Korean Publication Application No. 2013-0123142 discloses a lithium electrode as materials for a secondary battery using lithium, (a lithium metal battery). The lithium electrode comprises a solid super-ionic conductor manufactured with a three-dimensional multi-porous structure; a lithium metal or lithium alloy filled in each of the open pores that constitute the multi-pores; and a collector bound to one side of the solid super-ionic conductor, in which a lithium metal or lithium alloy is filled in each of the pores.

In addition, JP 10-4615339 A has reported a porous solid electrode and an all-solid lithium secondary battery using the same, and has disclosed the electrode for a lithium secondary battery, in which for the electrode for the lithium secondary battery, the electrode is composed of the complex of a porous solid electrolyte exhibiting the lithium-ionic conductivity of 0.5×10⁻⁴ S-cm⁻¹ or more and a battery active material that is filled in the pores of the porous solid electrolyte.

Further, Korean Publication Application No. 2013-0073766 has disclosed a cathode for a lithium sulfur secondary battery including a sulfur multi-porous nanocomplex structure and a porous nano conductor, in which i) the sulfur multi-porous nanocomplex structure having the sulfur particles being filled in the pores of a porous conductor having pores and ii) the porous conductor of the same kind without the sulfur particles being filled in the pores are adjacent each other and arranged in a volume ratio of 1:0.1 to 0.9.

JP 2009-094029 A has also disclosed an all-solid lithium secondary battery and an electrode for an all-solid lithium secondary battery, in which for at least one electrode the proportions of a polymer solid electrolyte and inorganic solid electrolyte powder to an electrode mixture including an active material, a conductive composite, a polymer solid electrolyte and an inorganic solid electrolyte powder are less than 50% in a volume fraction.

Moreover, JP 2013-051171 A has disclosed to an electrode body for an all-solid battery and an all-solid battery, in which the electrode body for an all-solid battery includes an electrode layer including an active material particle, a lithium-ionic conductive glass solid electrolyte, and an oxide-based conductor and a solid electrolyte layer including lithium-ionic conductive glass solid electrolyte.

However, even with the above-described known techniques, long-term stability, an inhibition in polysulfide shuttle phenomenon, or high efficiency charge/discharge effect, which is required for an automotive battery system, have not been obtained. In order to solve the above mentioned technical difficulties, the present invention provides a lithium composite as being used as a cathode material, and thus, may provide superior stability and greater efficiency all-solid lithium battery system than the conventional secondary lithium batteries.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described below. While the invention will be described in conjunction with exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that present description is not intended to limit the invention to those exemplary embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover not only the exemplary embodiments, but also various alternatives, modifications, equivalents and other embodiments, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional technique of a lithium sulfur battery. During discharging, the electron migrated from a lithium anode is bound to a sulfur particle adjacent to the surface of a conductor, and then, the sulfur particle is reduced into S₈ ²⁻ and dissolved in liquid electrolyte. The S₈ ²⁻ is bound to a lithium ion to form Li₂S₈ (long-chain polysulfide) as being dissolved in electrolyte. The Li₂S₈ is consistently subjected to a reduction reaction with a Li ion, and finally, is precipitated on the surface of the lithium anode in a type of Li₂S₂—Li₂S (short-chain polysulfide). Meanwhile, during charging, due to an oxidation reaction, the precipitated polysulfide turns into S₈ ²⁻ through a reverse process, and the electron is lost, such that the sulfur particle is precipitated on the surface of the conductor. However, as illustrated in drawings, at the time of being charged, during the oxidation process from Li₂S₂—Li₂S into Li₂S₈, a polysulfide shuttle phenomenon may occur as reacting with a lithium ion and producing Li₂S₂—Li₂S again. Such a shuttle phenomenon may occur in a lithium sulfur battery that uses a liquid electrolyte, and further may cause self-discharge continuously during the charging, which may be one of the greatest problem occurring in a liquid electrolyte system. Therefore, a battery life may be reduced, and the efficiency of active material mass at the time of being discharged may be reduced. In order to solve the conventional problems, according to the present technique, a solid electrolyte complex may be formed to solve the above problems.

Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a cathode of an all-solid lithium battery. The method may comprise:

dispersing a solid electrolyte in pores of a mesoporous conductor to provide a solid electrolyte composite;

preparing a lithium composite by coating the solid electrolyte composite on a surface of a lithium compound particle; and

connecting a plurality of the lithium composites using a binder.

Alternatively, the method may comprise:

providing a solid electrolyte;

preparing a solid electrolyte composite by dispersing the solid electrolyte in the pores of a mesoporous conductor;

preparing a lithium composite by coating the solid electrolyte composite on a surface of a lithium compound particle; and

connecting a plurality of the lithium composites using a binder.

Preferably, in the solid electrolyte composite, the solid electrolyte may be uniformly dispersed in the pores of the mesoporous conductor.

In a preferred embodiment, the lithium compound particle as the active material of the cathode may be represented by Li₂X and X may be at least one selected from the group consisting of S, Se, and Te. Particularly, the Li₂X particles may be formed by aggregating or binding each Li₂X molecules, in a shape of sphere, oval or other polyhedrons, however, without any limitations in shapes.

Preferably, the Li₂X particle may suitably have a size ranging from about 10 nm to about 100 μm, from about 100 nm to about 5 μm.

FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary cathode structure of the all-solid lithium battery according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and an exemplary method for manufacturing the same.

First, a mesoporous conductor (ordered mesoporous conductor, OMC) and the solid electrolyte may be provided and a solid electrolyte composite may be prepared by dispersing the synthesized solid electrolyte (SE) in the pores of a mesoporous conductor. In particular, the solid electrolyte may be uniformly distributed throughout the pores of the mesoporous conductor.

Subsequently, the solid electrolyte composite may be coated on the surface of a lithium compound or a lithium compound particle to form a lithium composite. Preferably, the lithium compound may be represented as Li₂X. The lithium particles of Li₂X may include at least one element of nonmetallic solid, such as S, Se, and Te. In particular, the nonmetallic solid material may be selected from Group 6 elements in the periodic table.

Further, in order to prepare an electrode, the prepared lithium composites may be connected each other using a binder such as an organic binder, and then, may be treated with a rolling to provide sufficient ion conduction and electron transport.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary manufacturing method and an exemplary cathode structure of an exemplary all-solid lithium battery according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

For example, a slurry comprising the lithium composite may be coated on the surface of a cathode collector, and then, the coated slurry may be treated with rolling. A solid electrolyte of the battery may be laminated on the cathode surface in a form of a thin film, and then, as a counter electrode, an anode comprising lithium and silicone may be connected on the surface of an anode collector to manufacture a type of mono cell.

An operation principle of the battery system is as follows. At the time of being discharged, Li₂X (X: S, Se, Te), a cathode active material, loses electron, and then, an oxidation reaction may occur as follows: Li₂X(s)→2Li⁺+X(s)+2e

As such, a lithium ion can move to the side of an anode and X may be formed in a solid phase on the surface of a cathode. At the time of being charged, the lithium is oxidized on the surface of an anode, and then, moved to the side of a cathode; and in the cathode, the reduction reaction may occur to form Li₂X as follows. X(s)+2Li⁺+2e ⁻→Li₂X(s),

As discussed above, the Li₂X of the present invention is used as an active material of a cathode.

Preferably, the mesoporous conductor may have an electric resistance value of about 10⁻⁶ Ω·m or less, and may include a metallic element and carbon. Preferably, the size of the mesoporous conductor may range from several nm to 100 μm, and the porosity thereof may be from about 10 to about 90 vol %. In addition, a size of pores may range from about 2 nm to about 50 nm or less such that is the pores may be affected by capillary force when dispersing the solid electrolyte in the pores.

The solid electrolyte may be one or more selected from the group consisting of oxide-based solid electrolyte and sulfur-based solid electrolyte. Exemplary oxide-based solid electrolyte may be, not limited to, a lithium oxide that may exist in a two-phase or more, and exemplary sulfur-based solid electrolyte may be, but not limited to lithium sulfur.

In a preferred aspect, when the solid electrolyte is dispersed in the mesoporous conductor, the dispersing may be performed by a melting-diffusion method, an infiltration method, or a gas-solid mixing method. For example, the melting-diffusion method may include: changing the solid electrolyte to a liquid phase having fluidity by applying heat to the solid electrolyte, and then, injecting the solid electrolyte inside the mesopores of the conductor. The gas-solid mixing method may include: including evaporating the solid electrolyte, and then, depositing the solid electrolyte in a solid phase inside the mesopores of the conductor.

Further, the solid electrolyte composite may be coated by a mechanical drying and/or wet mixing. Exemplary mechanical dry mixing may be a ball milling, a planetary milling, or a mechanofusion, and exemplary mechanical wet mixing may be a ball milling or planetary milling using a solvent that does not generate the side reactions between the conductor and solid electrolyte.

Preferably, the thus prepared lithium composite may suitably have a size ranging from about 100 nm to about 100 μm, or from about 1 μm to about 10 μm.

The binder may comprise one or more selected from the group consisting of a fluorine-based binder and a rubber-based binder.

Meanwhile, when the slurry comprising the lithium composite is coated on a cathode collector, a rolling may be performed, and then, the coating may be performed by a slip casting, pressure casting, tape casting, or gel casting method. Preferably, the rolling may be performed under the condition of the compression ratio of about 20 to 50% by a compaction, roll press, isostatic compaction, and the like.

The present invention has remarkable advantages as compared with the conventional techniques as follows.

1) The life span of the battery may be improved is excellent because the shuttle phenomenon of an active material may be prevented as compared with the conventional liquid electrolyte system.

2) The stability of the battery may be improved at a high temperature as compared with the case of using liquid electrolyte.

3) Since liquid electrolyte is not used, a secondary battery having high energy density may be obtained as compared with the conventional technique.

4) By using an active material in a type of Li₂X as a cathode active material, sufficient space may be maintained even when the volume of X is expanded during a reduction reaction.
